What they don't tell you in the commercial is that Hydroxycut contains: Caffeine, Green Coffee Bean Extract, Cocoa Extract, Yohimbe, L-Theanine and Coleus Forskohlii. Individually, these are not harmful. However, collectively with an excessive dose they have the potential to be dangerous to the human body.
Caffeine, Green Coffee Bean Extract, and Cocoa Extract all contain caffeine. This gives you the
energy rush and gets your heart pounding.
Yohimbe, is both a sexual stimulant helping and also gives you a rush of euphoria and energy usually only felt during an adrenaline rush. Combine Yohimbe with the other stimulants in Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite and you’ve got a mind-blowing energy tonic!
L-Theanine, Counteracts the harsh amounts of stimulants. L-Theanine calms the "spikes" and the "jitters" associated with high amounts of caffeine.
Coleus, breaks down the fat cells that our bodies love to hold on to. It works by creating an effect on the enzyme to release the fat cell energy.
Is it safe?
Well, you have to be the judge. It is recommended in small dosages. However, some people get very sick from Yohimbe mixed with caffeine. So, it all depends on how sensitive you are to stimulants.

Wow, I had no idea that Hydroxycut had some make stimulants in it! Although it really doesn't surprise me that it's unhealthy because everything that promises fast weight loss is usually unhealthy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really great! I never looked into it, but Hydroxycut just screams unhealthy.
ReplyDeleteAre there any legitimate studies that support Hydroxycut's claim that it aids weight loss? I didn't come across any but only did a really basic google search.
